CIS Invoicing
Automate CIS tax calculations and stay compliant with HMRC requirements. Built specifically for UK construction contractors and subcontractors.
What is CIS?
Construction Industry Scheme
CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) is a UK tax scheme that requires contractors to deduct tax from payments made to subcontractors for construction work. The deduction is made from the labor portion of the payment, not materials or VAT.
Contractors must register with HMRC and deduct tax at source before paying subcontractors. The deduction rate depends on the subcontractor's registration status with HMRC.
